Extra on this storyline

“Whenever you have a look at their teaching employees, similar factor. They’ve a Corridor of Fame coach in Rick Carlisle. He’s a championship coach with a well-prepared employees. You see that from the place they’re sitting within the Jap Convention proper now. Then while you have a look at their roster, they’ve a younger, budding celebrity in [Tyrese] Haliburton who isn’t solely this deadly scorer, however he’s facilitating and making the proper performs. He’s some extent guard’s level guard when it comes to making his teammates higher. Pascal being added there provides a dynamic that they didn’t have earlier than, which is somebody to alleviate strain off of Tyrese and relieve strain on Pascal. Each guys, in late-game conditions, may go get a bucket with out having to run loads of offense. Each gamers are extraordinarily unselfish and pass-first sort of gamers. They make the proper play as a substitute of the egocentric play. The truth that Pascal is a champion like Rick Carlisle is, he’ll carry that have on a gifted younger crew. Whenever you have a look at someone like Myles Turner, who’s a stretch 5 and rim-protecting massive, being paired with Pascal shall be lethal with offering Pascal with spacing, which he in any other case didn’t have in Toronto.” -via SportsKeeda / January 18, 2024
What does Pascal Siakam consider the commerce? Ramasar: “He’s excited. There are loads of recollections up in Toronto, and loads of good recollections. Though issues have modified to the place he’s been moved, he’s ecstatic in regards to the alternative forward of him in Indiana. To start with, it’s a first-class group. Whenever you have a look at [President] Kevin Pritchard and [general manager] Chad Buchanan, these are basketball guys with a company that all the time has had basketball executives from Larry Hen to Donnie Walsh which were there. Their entrance workplace is firstclass.” -via SportsKeeda / January 18, 2024
However as was the case with the Pacers entrance workplace and the teaching employees, Siakam can be nicely conscious {that a} deal like this doesn’t go down until the group’s most necessary participant, that being Haliburton, is giving a hearty thumbs-up. League sources say that was definitely what occurred right here, with the Pacers granting the 23-year-old the type of voice and affect on this commerce that has develop into the league-wide norm for any participant who’s on a max deal (and, it’s price remembering, that former Pacers star Paul George has mentioned wasn’t granted to him earlier than he determined to push his means out of city). -via The Athletic / January 18, 2024
